Coffee FAQs


When do you roast and ship your coffee?
We roast on Mondays and Thursdays and ship out the day after, on Tuesdays and Fridays. If your order is submitted before 8:00 am on a roast day, it will go out the next day. Depending on where you live, shipping takes between one to five days. So when you get your coffee, it will be between two to six days old. 
Do you carry organic coffee?
At Switchback our coffee sourcing philosophy is to seek out the highest quality coffees. We do not specifically seek out organic coffees . We do occasionally have an organic coffee in our line-up, however we don't advertise them as organic. Feel free to contact us at info@switchbackroasters.com for more information on this, and we can point you towards our organic coffees.
Do you carry fair trade coffee?
The short answer is yes and no. We very rarely buy coffee that is labeled as fair-trade. We source our coffees directly ourselves in partnership with other roasters and through people that have direct relationships with the farmers. Essentially we are buying coffees at prices that are far above fair-trade prices. Fair-trade unfortunately doesn't guarantee fair wages, sustainability for the farmer or quality coffee, so we generally use other means to source our coffee. 
How long should after the roast date should I wait to drink my coffee?
If you're brewing filter coffee (drip coffee, pourover, french press, aeropress, etc), we recommend that you wait at least three days after roasting before you start brewing. This gives the coffee enough time to release some of the gases that were produced during roasting, making for a more consistent, tastier coffee. For espresso, we like to wait at least seven days.
Can you pre-grind my coffee?
Yes! Just add an order note to your order and let us know how you plan to brew your coffee and we will grind it for you. 
What is the Mild to Adventurous scale?
The Mild to Adventurous Scale on our bags refers to the expected flavors in coffee. If the scale is marked more towards Mild, you can expect flavors like nuts, dry wine, bakers chocolate, etc. With coffees marked more towards Adventures, you can expect flavors like citrus, floral, fruit, etc. Typically, but not always, the more Adventures the coffee, the lighter we usually roast it.
